The Queendom of Amazonia
Summer 1836 Now since the crops had been planted and all that the Amazonians needed to do was wait for the autumn harvest, the Amazonians were now free to take up arms and wage war against their neighbors. During the summer, it was ritual for the Amazonians to send out a small force out to undertake a raid against any village that has not sought protection under the Queendom of Amazonia. In these raids, the Amazonians would slay all the men within the village, assimilate any women (young and old) that they could, and throw into servitude any young males that happen to survive the slaughter. However, due to relations between some of the neighboring tribes, including the Zanoni, has been becoming amicable, the Amazonians had to find targets farther and farther away from their borders.
Once the raiding party had been assembled from the Amazonian population, the inhabitants of Amazonia performed a sacrifice dedicated to Athene Parthenos so that the virginal goddess of strategy would look over their war-band, since, as was proper in Amazonian tradition, women had to slay a man before she could marry. While this tradition is not always followed to the tee, those who do will always have first pick at their husband. Before the war-band left the borders of the Amazonian Queendom, a small embassy was set out to the Tribes of the Zanoni and the Sirithi in order to secure safe passage through their lands. Due to the this diplomatic situation, many speculated that the
Fiwa Tribes might be the Queendom's selected target. However, there was no official statement about where this war-band was heading.
In the wake of the Nehalenian bombardment of the Amazonian coastline, the Amazonians have reinforced the northern shore, especially at where the Thermodon empties out into the Bay of Myrine by stationing the few cannons that they had so far received from the Braiyusalians and building up earthen-mounds that would help cover those cannons so that they could more efficiently protect the coast. However, one of the shipments had not arrived. Therefore, the "ambassador" stationed in Themiscyra wrote back to the authorities in Colonial Braiyusal to send word to the homeland to alert them in the disappearance of the ship and his own testimony that the Amazonians never received the ship, nor did they capture it.
